The new theater that I can literally see from my house has those new theaters with super plush reclining seats and you have a tray for food, drink holders, all that stuff. Have been there once, and no doubt the theater itself is much more enjoyable than the old ones.

That being said I will still go to the Kentucky Theater and support it, as it is not as plush but is truly history and the theater itself is beautiful with big chandeliers, etc. It's also going to be 100 years old this year, which is pretty amazing.

But the new theaters are very nice. Helps offset the fact that it seems a lot of recent movies aren't all that good. lol

Oh, and with you on the historic Theatre. There's one in Fondren (a hip off-downtown area, where Pig and a Pint is and other really good restaurants and bars), but the timing didn't work for us on the movie they had.

Nope.

Not recommended. Mediocre.

Hey, we enjoyed it. Sat in a plush recliner to watch (a first experience for me), and paid $3 because all movies were $3 yesterday. Wasn't a bad movie, just not good.

We took my grandson to see the new Jurassic movie a few weeks back and went to a recliner theater, he woke me up twice.

I’m not sure if it was a commentary on the movie or the comfort of the seating, or I just needed some rest.

Just finished Season 1 of 1883 on Paramount+. It's a Yellowstone prequel but you don't have to have watched Yellowstone to watch it. It stands on its own.

Very dark. Very, very, very dark. But it paints a vivid picture of the West & what it took to get there & settle it. Tim McGraw is surprisingly good & Sam Elliott was made for this. Highly recommend.

Wish the end of season 1 ended differently for Elliott, thought he was perfect for that show.

Watched Margin Call again last night after listening to the latest Rewatchables podcast on it. Really good, underrated movie--everybody in it gives a great performance. Jeremy Irons in particular is spectacular, but I like him in everything. It's on Netflix.

OK..Dahmer, on Netflix. Very good, and very disturbing representation of the events. Just finished episode one

[KSRBEvans]

Watching Rio Lobo on YouTube. Not as good as I remember. The first third of this movie (the gold theft, etc.) draaaaaaaaaaags.

Thanks for review, I watched e1 last night… disturbing indeed.

I prefer El Dorado and Rio Bravo of that basic trilogy. El Dorado with a very young James Caan, and then you can't go wrong with Dean Martin and Angie Dickinson and even Ricky Nelson in Rio Bravo. Also Walter Brennen who is always great.

Not really a trilogy but I guess three movies stamped out in that run that are usually grouped together. The casting in Rio Lobo is vastly inferior to the other two obviously. El Dorado still has James Caan, Robert Mitchum, Ed Asner.

I found myself glued to the tv while watching.

I watched e2 Dahmer, it’s hard to watch. He was one sick ticket.

Guess I'm on a Western kick--watched Little Big Man last night. Never really mentioned among the great Westerns, but still holds up.

[blueboss]

Well did you boys finish dahmer? I started a week or so ago and had a few binge nights. The storyline of the father and his self discovery was so intriguing to me. The actor that played dahmer was just addicting as hell to watch, he’s really good. The fact they can make you feel sorry and understanding for the sick sob in one moment then realize he is a pathetic pos who is just endulging a sickness the next was masterful. Funny It didn’t get great reviews I loved it. Maybe I have issues lol, oh wait.

[blueboss]

For me it’s hard to watch, and I suppose that’s a testament to how well the film makers have captured the sick bastards story.

I’ve watched three episodes and then took a break…I’ll get back to it shortly when my viewing schedule frees up some time to watch. Lots of college sports going on right now that ties up a lot of my viewing time.

OK, my wife and I enjoy listening to true crime podcasts when we travel by car, enjoy Criminal Minds, SVU, etc. Dahmer sounds like it would be right up our alley.

Got 3 months of free Apple TV+. I’ve been told Ted Lasso is worth a look, any other recommendations?

Mosquito coast is decent, it’s in its second season.

…also checked in on Echo 3, looks to be good, special forces action/drama in Columbia.

Watched the first two (teaser) episodes on Paramount looked good. I currently don’t have paramount +. Waiting for a promo, and get a few more episodes of a few of their shows to binge when I do sign up.

Thanks! I think what I’m going to do is look for a promo after seasons end for Tulsa King and a couple other shows so I can watch the whole season during a free month.

Here are a few on Netflix I’ve liked:

Wednesday Adams- kind of childish but good binging for a season. It’s not been at the top of the charts for nothing.

The alpinist - if you watched free solo you’ll like this, the guy is unreal and very kind and just does it because he loves it. Extreme danger.

Narcos - it’s old but I just started it and it’s great. Love it.

Made the mistake of starting the HBO Chernobyl miniseries this evening. There's a chance I might get to sleep tonight.
